Mr. Leyden

Would it be possible for the Minister for Communications to make a statement today in relation to the continuing strike in Galway Post Office and Dundalk Post Office? This has caused widespread difficulties in both those areas from an economic and social point of view.

An Ceann Comhairle

I have allowed the Deputy to make his point but it does not arise in this way on the Order of Business.

Mr. Leyden

Possibly you would allow this on the Adjournment. The people have a right to know what is happening in both those disputes.

An Ceann Comhairle

I will communicate with Deputy Leyden.

Mr. Leyden

I hope you realise how serious the matter is.

An Ceann Comhairle

I live in Cavan.

Tomás Mac Giolla

I wish to raise on the Adjournment the reported use by representatives of the US Government of Irish passports in Iran, how they managed to get home with those passports and what the Government will do in regard to it.

An Ceann Comhairle

I will communicate with Deputy Mac Giolla.

Mr. J. O'Leary

I wish to raise on the Adjournment of the Dáil this evening the subject matter of Question No. 112 on the Order Paper of 30 October regarding the lack of finance for the Cappanalea outdoor education centre near Killorglin, County Kerry. This is a very urgent matter.

An Ceann Comhairle

I will communicate with Deputy John O'Leary.

Mr. J. Leonard

I wish to raise on the Adjournment the subject matter of Question No. 24 on 22 October and the other questions related to it.

An Ceann Comhairle

I will communicate with Deputy J. Leonard.
